megs

Like I explained.  Nintendo has their little space system.  If you look
carefully, they say the have 24 megs!  But they never go to the "extension of
the name"... Nintendo uses a space system, that is similar to the computer
space.. They use bItes  (notice the capital I).. while computers use bYtes
(notice the capital Y).. So tehcnically they are not liying, cause they don't
say -> 24 megabYtes, they just say 24 megs!  But mega what?  MegabItes..
Get it?
